Joseph,

I forgot to respond to your example:

Why not? I don't see that "tempo largo di valzer" loses anything. Of
course, the waltz is a German dance, but particularly because of that,
"Walzer" transliterates into other languages with its denotation and
connotation intact. This is not even as good an example as Barber's
lovely image of summer indolence.
